Review on πŸ“· High-Resolution 5MP Camera Module for Raspberry Pi: OV5647 Sensor, 1080p, Pi 4, Pi 3, Zero by Jen Slocum

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Needs some foam for use with the Pi Zero case, otherwise works great.

Works fine with Raspbian. Color quality isn't as good as the v2 camera, but that's forgivable when you can get it for less than half the price. On the other hand, they deliver a better image than v2 in low light conditions. Difficult to use with a Pi Zero case. It snaps into the cover like the v2 camera, but the tiny connector that connects the camera module to the camera board disconnects each time. I put some foam between the case cover and the connector and that seems to hold it in place. I'll review this review and give it another star. I've had two of these for about two years. The foam trick works perfectly.
